The mailbox watch is on

[wonderbee]

Some of the students got letters that their applications were being reviewed and they'd get something in the mail in mid-October, others got rejection letters because their applications were not in order, I got NOTHING.

What does it mean? The funny thing is, I know I have enough points that if I don't get in, no one stands a chance. Also, I got a letter stating my application was in order before the deadline. But I won't rest till that mailbox gives me what I want! What does it mean?

Kitty,

I got my immunizations at the health department. The first visit is a pain, because you are a walk-in, but after that they'll make appts. for you. I got my 2nd hep-B yesterday, and didn't wait at all. It was a lot cheaper than getting it another way.

I found good deals on scrubs and shoes at LydiasUniforms.com. Very reasonable prices, and quick turn-around. I bought a pair of white Merrell shoes, and they are so incredibly comfortable. I'd used Merrell's before for street shoes, and they are the BEST.

I know you're excited...so am I.

How funny kittykat, I do the same thing! I haven't bought scrubs yet but I'm dieing to. I've gone and looked at scrubs at least 20 times! I lovingly touch them....dreaming of when I will wear them! I will start in clinicals next fall, but even then I won't be able to buy any! I will be wearing whites from the college. ick. But I did buy some nursing shoes, because I am volunteering in a hospital. so that was fun. I also get nursing catalogs and magazines! I know I know, what a wannabe! :chuckle Well I am just glad I am not the only one around who is just dieing to get nursey stuff! Heather

Our acceptance/rejection letters go out on Oct 15. I figure one to two days for the mail. I know I will be haunting the mailbox end of next week. Wish me luck!

P.S. Someone told me health insurance doesn't usually cover nursing school immunizations. Does anyone know anything about that?

I'm here waiting for my letter too. The deadline is next week but I turned in my application almost a month ago. We will find out probably after Thanksgiving. We don't get any letter saying that they recieved it and all that, just the rejection/acceptance letter. I got rejected for the fall so hopefully I'll make it for the spring.

Another day of mailbox watch is here. We have a new letter carrier and the mail comes later in the day now. like putting pressure on the letter carrier is going to make it come quicker

It's Saturday and I live on the beach but I'll have my head in my nutrition book to keep me from biting my nails off. Unfortunately, October is a notorious month for bull shark attacks but the water is really at its best right now too. Maybe the nutrition book is a safer bet? Maybe study a few micro bugs too and their process of infection.

What are all you waiters doing today to keep your mind off the mail?

PS: As for the question about insurance covering immunizations for school, I know mine will not. Check with your plan administrator. I'll be going to my local county health department for titers and immunizations.

I'm so excited for you all! . I can't wait until i apply for my program next year. Isn't waiting for the mail the worst? I wish you all luck & speedy acceptance letters!

To keep my mind off the mail, I'll be thinking about...my interview that is scheduled for later this month! They got my application and called me yesterday to set it up! It's one of two; one for the accelerated BSN program and one for the MSN *biting what's left of my nails*.:)

To keep my mind off the mailbox I'm studying for A&P II midterms, putting in 8 hrs. at the hospital, wrapping up the garage sale my entrepeneurial 12 year old had with a girlfriend this morning (they made almost $60.00 ea!), and taking care of the rest of the family, who are fighting colds. Somewhere in there I might clean my sorely neglected house. Oh, mister postman...look at see, if there's a letter, an acceptance letter for me,hee.

I got a letter... a summons for jury duty. Ouch.

[Jennerizer, ASN, RN]

How come those jury summons never seem to get lost in the mail?? :)

You have my sympathies. (And best of luck to you, too!)
